From My Perspective

There is an old Chinese saying that states, "Only happy people can make a happy world." There is much truth to this. Have you ever noticed that the people you feel safest with and with whom you want to spend more time, are those who appear to be the happiest and most contented?

They don't need to compare or put down others; they're seldom negative, and they tend to concentrate on the good things in life. They have integrity, warmth, compassion, and gentleness.

Yet you are impressed by their quiet strength and perspective on life. The hectic pace and tension of the day diminishes a little while in their presence. You feel better just being with them and more importantly, you feel better about yourself.

Are you that quiet magnet that can attract people to the good things in life? Are you that unique person who can help others genuinely feel good about themselves?

Afterall, no one can ever give exactly what you have to offer. No one else will ever have your unique smile, your laughter, your sincerity, your ability to listen, your way of having fun, or your insight. No one will ever be able to give the world exactly what you can because only you can be the best you that is possible.

So, please, keep on searching for your authentic and true self......
